Free agent SS Lawyer Milloy is still holding out hope of playing a 16th season.

"I have all the intentions of playing," said Milloy. "I'm a free agent just like any other free agent out there." The 37-year-old didn't do himself any favors by slamming the Seahawks' decision to start Tarvaris Jackson over Charlie Whitehurst. Thu, Aug 25, 2011 05:31:00 PM

Milloy recently confirmed that he'll play a 16th season, but he's looking to play for a team that has a realistic shot at the Super Bowl. The 37-year-old is also reportedly in search of a better contract than the veteran minimum he played under last season. Thu, Jul 21, 2011 11:27:00 PM

Free agent SS Lawyer Milloy indicated that he plans to play a 16th season in 2011.

"I’m a free agent, just like anybody else. I’m available to all teams," said Milloy, who turns 38 this season. "And as long as I feel that I can do that and keep my body in shape (I’ll keep playing)." Milloy struggled both in run support and coverage last season and didn't have an interception. The Seahawks have younger players who can do what Milloy did for much cheaper. Thu, Jun 30, 2011 12:24:00 PM

Free agent SS Lawyer Milloy has given no indication whether he will return for a 16th NFL season this year.

Though Milloy finished second on the team with 88 tackles, he's simply lost too much speed to remain a viable starter at age 37. The Seahawks would like to see him back as a coach on the field to their young safeties, especially Earl Thomas -- who the team believes is a "star in the making." Kam Chancellor is currently penciled in as the starting strong safety. Wed, Jun 1, 2011 12:39:00 PM

Avril missed the final 12 games of last season due to November neck surgery. He expects to get cleared for 2018, but there's a good chance he won't be back with the Seahawks. Avril's release would save $7 million in cap space and leave just $500,000 in dead money. Seattle has Frank Clark as an in-house replacement for Avril.

McDowell missed his entire rookie season after suffering a "severe" concussion in an ATV accident. "Nothing new," Carroll said. "He’s got a process he is going through, we get information rarely in his case but there will be a time when you will hear more." It's a strange, concerning situation. McDowell was arrested for disorderly conduct in Atlanta in December.

That's "if he gets medically cleared." Coach Pete Carroll has said this is not a guarantee. It's hardly surprising Chancellor is going to give it a shot, as his $6.8 million salary fully guaranteed earlier this month. It could be a while before we gain clarity on Chancellor's health.
